BAPTISM BY FIRE / o, attack on roy

[Roy Mustang]

Roy Mustang is not a pacifist, unlike his groupmates. His groupmates certainly seem to be quite the pacifists, he would understand why people would be so annoyed with them and their reasons. Sure, it's not as bad as a group that constantly wants to spill blood, but Roy knew he would be more annoyed if he heard about the Ascendants while living in a different group. Roy has already shown his annoyance towards his clanmates- Mustang is new to the Ascendants, but he is also new to this life- he was formerly human. He used to be apart of the Amestrian Military, he had been a Colonel and a state alchemist. So Roy wasn't about to go with the flow and treat this situation like it wasn't a problem. He's going to be suspicious and untrusting. He is going to be constantly confused on why this happened to him and Riza, and how they can go back. And it will take time for him to gain any trust in any Ascendants member- especially their leader(who in all honesty to Roy, is a little too happy that makes Roy think they're hiding something). Back in his old military, when they got into a civil war- state alchemists were used in a genocide extermination. Roy was one of the alchemists- he is quite used to the smell of burning corpses and ash. Most of the Ascendants might squirm at fighting and spilling blood, but Roy already has his paws spilt. He won't be afraid to do it again if it means he saves his life or someone he cares about.

Ah, Luna. Roy barely knew her, and not long after he joined their group she seemed to disappear. He didn't really think some group took her hostage- his new scent of smell gave him the ability to smell better. If there was another group at the scene, he'd be able to tell now. He didn't come across any strang, unfamiliar scents back there. So the tiger didn't think much of it, he wasn't that concerned. Especially considering he doesn't fully trust his groupmates yet- this might merely be temporarily shelter for him until he finds a way home to Amestris.

Unlike his other groupmates, when Roy's green gaze landed onto Beck, he didn't have that happy, welcoming approach. Instead his eyes narrowed with suspicion, eyes turning to mere slits, ears pinning back to his skull. His groupmates have been complete idiots regarding trespassers. He’s seen them approach them like they're buddies already and not even show concern that this possible person might be a threat. Roy was not going to think Beck was a friendly guy who was looking to 'join', hell no. Especially considering that Beck is stalking towards him, as if that's not shady enough. ”What the hell are you doing? Explain yourself, now.”
